Program Overview

What Is Structured Literacy with E.A.S.E.?

Rooted in the Science of Reading, this foundational reading program provides a clear roadmap to confidently implement practices that align with how the brain learns to read. It addresses all strands of Scarborough's Reading Rope and includes differentiated supports.

Alexandrea M.'s testimonial on Structured Literacy with E.A.S.E. that reads, “I love the inclusion of ‘challenge’ activities. They make it so easy to differentiate instruction and ensure that all of my learners feel successful.”

Kimberly F.'s testimonial on Structured Literacy with E.A.S.E. that reads, “It’s really a one-stop-shop. I don’t have to piece together background knowledge, vocabulary, word work, and comprehension–the lessons already have it all.”

Children first isn't just something we say.

At Laprea Education, Children First isn’t just a value, it’s the foundation of everything we do. Founded by a veteran teacher with 24 years of classroom experience, our work is driven by a singular mission: to put children at the center and create resources that truly help them learn to read. This commitment comes to life in our foundational reading program, where every detail reflects the realities of Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction. From differentiated practice to skills-focused routines, we’ve designed each component to meet students where they are, so every child has the support they need to grow into a confident reader.

Phonological Awareness

From syllables and rhyme to phoneme manipulation — the foundation every reader needs before print.

Systematic Phonics

Explicit phonics instruction, all six syllable types, decodable texts — fiction and nonfiction — at every level.

Fluency

Built-in practice that moves students from effortful decoding to automatic, confident reading.

Vocabulary & Comprehension

Language structures, verbal reasoning, and background knowledge — the full picture of what skilled reading requires.

Begin in the Sound Sequence

The Sound Sequence is where every reader's journey begins. From the very first lesson, students learn letter sounds alongside handwriting, oral articulation, and concepts of print. Decodable books are introduced early because real reading practice shouldn't wait. By the end of the Sound Sequence, students don't just know their letters and sounds. They know how to be readers.

Put it All Together in Sequence 1

Sequence 1 is where students build on the foundation of the Sound Sequence and begin applying their phonics knowledge to CVC words, high-frequency words, and connected text through engaging decodable books. Every three-day lesson is packed with phonemic awareness, word mapping, word chaining, encoding, vocabulary, comprehension skills, and verbal reasoning, all woven together so that decoding and understanding develop side by side. By the end of Sequence 1, students are reading more than words; they're reading complete stories.

Read Longer Words in Sequence 2

Sequence 2 is where students move beyond the basics and into the building blocks of more complex words. Building on the CVC foundation from Sequence 1, students dive into digraphs, blends, vowel-consonant-e, and syllable division — unlocking a whole new world of words. Every three-day lesson is packed with the same activities students became accustomed to in Sequence 1. By the end of Sequence 2, students are reading longer words, and they are reading with confidence.

Become More Independent in Sequence 4

Sequence 4 is where everything comes together. Building on the vowel patterns and morphology from Sequence 3, students tackle advanced vowel patterns, diphthongs, prefixes, suffixes, and every syllable type in the program, giving them the tools to decode almost any word they encounter. Every three-day lesson weaves together word mapping, word chaining, phonemic awareness, encoding, vocabulary, comprehension skills, and verbal reasoning, so students grow as both decoders and thinkers. By the end of Sequence 4, students aren't just reading complex words. They're reading anything.
